LUDWIG BECK provided group earnings guidance for the year 2020. The management of the LUDWIG BECK Group originally expected gross sales of between €95 million and €97 million and earnings before taxes (EBT) of between €3.5 million and €4.5 million for the current fiscal year 2020. Due to the negative effects of the "Corona virus crisis", management is currently unable to provide a reliable forecast for sales and earnings for the 2020 financial year. The extent to which LUDWIG BECK's sales and earnings could be negatively affected by the absence of customers, supplier bottlenecks or possible official orders cannot be estimated as of today.
